Fred is survived by his daughter, Kenadie; parents, BobbiJo (Kelly) Train of Sheridan and Fred Leitz of Stanton; siblings, Carrie (Michael) Frame of Greenville, Joseph Leitz of Greenville, Jessi Fears of Greenville, Michael (Autumn) Train of Sheridan, and April Train of Sheridan; grandparents, Vonnie and Steve Bunting of Greenville, Ida Train of Sheridan, and Bob and Elaine Deal of Ohio; longtime girlfriend and Kenadie's mother, Morgan Blumberg; "spiritual" mom, Kim (Shayne) Becher; uncle, John Leitz; and many other relatives and friends.

My heart hurts at the news of Fred's passing. It is hard on the loved ones who loved him dearly and miss him severely, but, oh what peace we have in knowing that Fred may be gone in this life, but He is very much alive in the heaven, and one day, we will meet again. My prayers are with you all.
